CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER CAUTION: Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged before attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquids. The outside of your Coffeemaker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp, soft cloth. IMPORTANT: Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquids. When cleaning the Carafe, DO NOT put your hands inside the Stainless Steel Carafe Clean your Stainless Steel Carafe by rinsing it with warm soapy water. The Stainless Steel Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket may be washed with warm soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other parts of the Coffeemaker in the dishwasher. Rinse the Removable Filter Basket thoroughly after every use to ensure trouble-free operation. Do not clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a lint residue that could clog the Coffeemaker. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Stainless Steel Carafe is NOT dishwasher safe, hand wash only. DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEEMAKER Calcium deposits may build up in the Coffeemaker as a result of minerals commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in longer brewing times. This slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the Coffeemaker. We recommend decalcifying your unit with Gevalia Cleancaf Cleaner & Descaler. Nontoxic, biodegradable and odorless Cleancaf is a quick and easy way to keep Coffeemakers clean, fresh and odor free. Use bi-monthly to remove or prevent oil residue and mineral buildup. You can order Cleancaf by calling 1-800-GEVALIA (1-800-438-2542) or visiting us at www.gevalia.com. A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water may also be used to decalcify. Pour the solution into the Water Reservoir, and then close the Hinged Reservoir Lid. Place the Stainless Steel Carafe securely on the Carafe Holding Plate and allow the Coffeemaker to brew the vinegar solution. Once it has finished brewing, empty the Stainless Steel Carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the Water Reservoir with cold water only and run another new cycle to remove any remaining residue. -9-
time, you must then set the unit to AUTO. To do this, push the ON/AUTO/OFF button twice until the red AUTO light illuminates. AUTO will appear in the display. 6. When the unit is brewing, the green ON light will illuminate. After the cycle is complete, the brewer will automatically shut off. 7. To manually shut off the Coffeemaker, push the ON/AUTO//OFF button twice. All lights must be off. NOTE: If you are setting the unit to start brewing automatically, be sure that the unit is filled with water, the Filter Basket Holder is securely closed, and that the Carafe is sitting securely on the Carafe Holding Plate. CAUTION: After the brewing cycle is completed, there still will be HOT liquid in the Removable Filter Basket. Always turn off the unit and wait at least 30 minutes after the brewing cycle is completed before opening the filter basket lid and emptying the Removable Filter Basket. TO BREW A SECOND POT 1. Turn the unit off. 2. Wait 30 minutes. 3. Follow steps in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (above). HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE: A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER, is highly recommended. Always use fresh, cold filtered or bottled water in your Coffeemaker. Fine grind coffee (such as Gevalia) promotes fuller extraction and provides a rich, full-tasting coffee.. Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain its freshness. For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing. Do not re-use coffee grounds as this will lessen the coffee flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing. Small oil droplets on the surface of the brewed coffee is due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffee is used. Heavy use may also cause an increase in oil deposits, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker more frequently. -8-

An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. 3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or table-top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical rating of the Coffeemaker is listed on the bottom panel of the unit. As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
